HOLY F****** S*** HE VIDEO TAPED THE SHOOTING AND U/Led IT TO HIS FACEBOOK

Unreal. He actually stands there pointing the gun at her, then puts his arm down, moves around a bit, then unloads. Posts the whole thing to facebook. Unreal.

As predicted; video of the shooting has been removed by YouTube.

Link is gone.

He filmed the gun pointing at the news reporter. You can see him shoot the reporter 3 times as she runs away. He then dropped the camera.

It shocks the system. I remember watching the Berg beheading years ago and feeling the same way. The idea of watching someone’s life come to a violent end is unnerving. Seeing a bad car crash is one thing. Watching someone go from being alive to being dead due to one person’s predisposition toward violence is stomach-turning.

Yes, like a first person shooter in a video game. Just the gun and his hand holding it, and then him firing 3 rounds at her.

Yes, he was holding the cell in his left hand and shot with the right hand.

Jihad?

Quite possible and that wouldn't surprise me. But not every act of violence is jihad. It well could be that, or it could be as simple as a nasty breakup. Time will tell.

In any event, it's horrible and tragic, and sympathies to the families, co-workers, and friends of the victims.

Prayer for everyone involved.

His twitter also says he was a “high paid companion” which probably means he is gay and was a prostitute at sometime.

Here's a screenshot of the perp's video right after the first shot. I took it from his facebook account:

I think he hit on the MALE reported. Which is why HE went to HR.
